The Legend of Li Yuan
The Everlasting Apple Fruit

The next morning

"How is your body now" Luan Zang asked as he looked at Li Yuan who was awake and preparing.

"It's been much better teacher" Li Yuan replied

"Good" Yuan Zang said with a smile.

Yuan Zang then took out three books from his storage ring. The book looked worn and had a few words on its cover. At first glance Li Yuan could see the books were older than the Book of the Emperor of Death he had obtained from Mo Cau.

The three books were, the Dragon God Book, the Lightning God Book and the Storm God Book.

"Take this, and learn it. Over the next year you will learn it while still soaking in the Spiritual Pool" Yuan Zang explained.

Then Yuan Zang placed his index finger on Li Yuan's forehead. He shot out a beam, in an instant within Li Yuan's mind filled with images of high-level techniques.

"The three books that are now in your hands, contain God Level techniques. You must be able to take good care of it, not just anyone can learn these techniques. Everything is destructive and killing" Yuan Zang said.

"In addition there is a strange spiritual power of the three books, only I have no further explanation for it. That possibility relates to a hidden power that only the previous ruler of the celestial realm knew of" added his teacher.

"Good teacher, students understand" Li Yuan said.

"Now hurry to soak into the Spiritual Pool to train your physique. Spiritual Pool is very good for regenerating your skin and bones, every mineral contained in it will increase the strength of your body and strengthen your Dantian" said Yuan Zang.

Li Yuan grew even more excited after hearing his teacher's remark, then he immediately rushed to the Spiritual Pool like yesterday. At the edge of the pond, he found several types of fruit which were purple apples like the one he ate yesterday.

While soaking he ate the purple apple fruit, his expression a little uncomfortable but he still ate it.

Looking at Li Yuan's reaction, his teacher approached and said, "The fruit you ate was an immortal apple, the tree grew around the crater of Mount Hua. The tree is thousands of years old, bearing fruit only when it has reached five hundred years old. For ordinary people this fruit was extremely poisonous, but for a lightning cultivator it would be extremely beneficial. I see you have a rare body that can absorb lightning essence. Maybe it's fate, we're found here. I am also as a cultivator who made lightning as a core source of energy" Yuan Zang explained.

After hearing the explanation from his teacher, Li Yuan stared intently at the purple Apple fruit. Li Yuan took the two Apples and chewed them greedily, slowly beginning to feel pleasure while chewing them. The more he chewed the taste began to sweet the base of his tongue, making himself more excited.

Yuan Zang looked at his disciple with a smile, it seemed like it had been a long time since he had felt such moments. After thousands of years he is now communicating with others.

"Teacher, thank you for all your kindness" Li Yuan said after finishing the two immortal Apples.

Yuan Zang then got up about to leave, but he said one last time, "I will watch over you from afar, train earnestly and don't let me down" he said before disappearing.

One of the techniques he learned was about cultivation techniques, in the Dragon God Book given by his teacher, Li Yuan gained a new understanding. If previously he knew the limit of one's cultivation was only at the Sacred Swordsman realm, but after studying the scriptures there were the next level namely the God Level and the Ruler Level.

Even at the level of Gods it is still divided into three parts namely the Earth God, the Sky God and the God Emperor. From the book also Li Yuan also obtained the Dragon Aura Cultivation Technique.

After practicing the cultivation of Dragon Aura, Li Yuan's Soul ability also improved greatly. During this one year Li Yuan besides training his physique also trained his soul force.

While the Book of the Lightning God and the Storm God although separate but have similarities and can be combined into a deadly attack. But on the use of the empty-handed style Li Yuan still has obstacles because in the Book of Storm Gods the wind element is needed as a lever. Li Yuan still needed time to awaken the wind element within his body.

It did not feel like the time had gone by one year, Li Yuan's strength had already increased greatly. In addition to his body getting stronger, his physical appearance also turned more stocky. His face became more handsome marked by a more pointed nose and large, smaller and thicker eyes.

Currently he was at the Late Stage Swordsman King realm. The body of the Celestial Emperor that Li Yuan possessed contained two Energy Core namely Lightning and Soul. These two elements are now growing over time.

"Yuan'er how's your training going?" ask Yuan Zang.

"After this one year, I feel my strength increasing stronger" Li Yuan replied happily.

"Good if so, tomorrow you will train at the top of Mount Hua precisely in his Kawah" Yuan Zang told the new method of training.

"Good teacher" Li Yuan replied.

"You will cultivate and practice the Storm God Book technique. I know your ability is still weak with the wind element. The force of pressure in the Mountain Crater will increase your speed of holding back the vortex of waves" Yuan Zang explained.

"Thank you teacher, the students will study harder" Li Yuan replied excitedly.

Li Yuan was pleased, the Lightning Steps contained in the Lightning God Book indeed needed to be supported by the wind element. This was Li Yuan's fundamental weakness in understanding the God Level.

At just eighteen years old, Li Yuan had already learned three techniques namely Dragon Aura, Lightning Step Technique and Death Storm Technique. For the last two techniques are still not perfect, therefore he will be more earnest in the next training improvement.

In the evening Li Yuan rested on the jade bed again, for the past year the jade was emitting health energy in Li Yuan's body. Natural energy naturally sucked up the oxidation toxins in Li Yuan's body, even the residue from his cultivation was absorbed by the jade.

The Spiritual Pond and the jade bed were treasures that had formed Li Yuan's better physique. Even the Heavenly Emperor Li Yuan's body spurred on grew more optimally to an extremely astonishing level.

During this one year also Li Yuan's physique developed without the help of Pills and medicines, all formed naturally the result of training the body as well as absorbing the natural Qi energy directly. Without Li Yuan realizing it, ever since he had used the Dragon Aura cultivation technique, the power of the absorbency and energy capacity within his dantian had expanded.
